The definitive guide to getting the most out of Airbnb
Over the last two years, we’ve spent over 500 nights living in more than 35 Airbnb rentals…across 12 cities on 3 continents.
The benefits are huge – but wow was there a learning curve!
As a guest, you can easily waste hours trying to find the perfect accommodation within your budget – then be discouraged by being ignored or rejected by hosts when you try to book.
And for hosts, it can be a struggle to be found in the search results. And then there are all the potential problems of logistical nightmares, undesirable guests and bad reviews.
We’ve dealt with it all, figured it out…and now written a book to help you shortcut all the drawbacks and get straight to the awesomeness!
Here’s what’s inside…

- Unearth bargain accommodation (even in expensive cities)
- Weigh up how good each property (and host) is likely to be, before you even contact them
